"Anglican libraries in Canada have been little explored or studied. This is true for all periods and for all types of libraries. However, there is surviving evidence for personal libraries -- episcopal, clerical and perhaps even lay -- and institutional libraries -- college, school, diocesan, parochial, Sunday school and clericus (Dr. Bray's libraries). Were there perhaps other types ? The Canadian Church Historical Society is sponsoring a conference on historic Anglican libraries in Canada. It will be held in Montreal, Quebec, in 2007, probably in the early summer, and will either immediately precede or follow the conference of the Bibliographical Society of Canada. A one-day conference is planned."
